Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

It provides comprehensive data on user ratings, review texts, and specific service evaluations, enabling businesses to gain valuable insights into customer feedback. ### Features - **Comprehensive Data Extraction**: Captures all relevant review details including text, ratings, and metadata. - **Flexible Date Range**: Allows users to specify absolute or relative start and end dates for data collection. - **Customizable URL Input**: Supports multiple URLs for targeted scraping operations. - **High-Quality Output**: Delivers structured JSON output with detailed fields for easy analysis. - **Scalable Performance**: Efficiently handles large volumes of data with optional item limits. ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Example | |-------------|---------|----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------| | StartDate | string | No | The start date for the spider. Supports absolute or relative dates. | `"2026-01-01"` | | EndDate | string | No | The end date for the spider. Supports absolute or relative dates. | `"2026-05-15"` | | Urls | array | Yes | URLs to scrape, must be valid HTTP/HTTPS links. | `["https://www.ihg.com/holidayinnexpress..."]`| | ItemLimit | string | No | Limits the number of items processed by the spider. | `"100"` | ### Example Usage #### Input JSON ```json { "StartDate": "2026-01-01", "EndDate": "2026-05-15", "Urls": [ "https://www.ihg.com/holidayinnexpress/hotels/us/en/andalusia/aadal/hoteldetail/hotel-reviews" ], "ItemLimit": "100" } ```` #### Output JSON ```json [ { "URL": "https://www.ihg.com/holidayinnexpress/hotels/us/en/alandusia/aadal/hoteldetail/hotel-reviews", "hotel_id": "aadal", "user_nickname": "Ashcardo", "review_text": "Great beautiful and very clean I was actually stunned when I saw how nice the place was. The breakfast was actually delicious as well.", "user_rating": 5, "review_title": "Greatness", "is_recommended": true, "user_location": "Adulusia", "specific_ratings": { "StaffService": 5, "Cleanliness": 5, "RoomComfort": 5, "Value": 5, "SleepQuality": 5 }, "submission_time": "2026-05-14T14:03:06.000+00:00", "pros": null, "cons": null, "member_status": "", "check_out_date": null, "comments": [], "actor_id": "kqKYwvATwtHv3beZh", "run_id": "VroLGOfQYHXM7KiQg" } ] ``` ### Use Cases - **Market Research and Analysis**: Analyze customer feedback to understand market trends. - **Competitive Intelligence**: Monitor competitor reviews for strategic insights. - **Price Monitoring**: Track pricing strategies through user comments. - **Content Aggregation**: Compile review data for content creation or reporting. - **Academic Research**: Use structured data for studies in hospitality management. - **Business Automation**: Integrate with CRM systems to enhance customer service. ### Installation and Usage 1. Search for "Ihg Reviews Pro Spider" in the Apify Store. 2. Click "Try for free" or "Run". 3. Configure input parameters as needed. 4. Click "Start" to begin extraction. 5. Monitor progress in the log. 6. Export results in your preferred format (JSON, CSV, Excel). ### Output Format The output is a JSON array where each object represents a review with fields such as `URL`, `hotel_id`, `user_nickname`, `review_text`, `user_rating`, and more. Each field provides specific details about the review, enabling comprehensive analysis. ### Rate Limiting and Best Practices - **Rate Limiting**: Ensure compliance with IHG's terms of service to avoid IP blocking. - **Best Practices**: Use appropriate delays between requests and respect robots.txt files. ### Error Handling Information The spider logs errors encountered during execution. Common issues include invalid URLs or network timeouts. Review the log for detailed error messages and adjust configurations accordingly. ### Limitations and Considerations - Ensure all input URLs are valid and accessible. - Be aware of potential changes in IHG's website structure that may affect scraping accuracy. - The spider does not handle CAPTCHA challenges automatically. ### Support For custom/simplified outputs or bug reports, please contact: - Email: support@getdataforme.com - Subject line: "custom support" - Contact form: [Get Data For Me](https://getdataforme.com/contact/) We're here to help you get the most out of this Actor! # Actor input Schema ## `StartDate` (type: `string`): The start date for the spider. ## `EndDate` (type: `string`): The end date for the spider. ## `Urls` (type: `array`): The urls for the spider. ## `ItemLimit` (type: `string`): The item limit for the spider. ## Actor input object example ```json { "StartDate": "2026-01-01", "EndDate": "2026-05-15", "Urls": [ "https://www.ihg.com/holidayinnexpress/hotels/us/en/andalusia/aadal/hoteldetail/hotel-reviews" ] } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
